Early 2026 Binkies

[Clonamery]

I'm going to officially drop Arvell Reese, even though he was my binky long before he was a consensus high 1st round pick. And I'm going to substitute:

- Yhonzae Pierre, EDGE/LB, Alabama.

Another RS Sophomore, along with Jelani McDonald and Kade Pieper. Long, violent and disruptive, fits Mike Vrabel's type.

I've got him penciled in at #32 to the Pats.

There must be a way to convince all 3 to come out.

I have never heard of anyone dropping a binky. Usually everyone just adds more and more binkies. So you can keep McDonald, Pierre, and Reese as your binkies. It is acceptable under the rules.

Package deal:

- Pierre at 32
- McDonald at 64
- Pieper at 96

Now you have:

- Campbell - Wilson - Pieper for the most athletic left OL in the NFL.

- Woodson - McDonald - Hawkins - Pettus/Saunders at safety

- Landry - Chaisson - Pierre - Ponder - Swinson - Murphy at EDGE.

Top ten for me are probably

Drew Shelton
Keylan Rutledge
Danni Day Sutton
Tacario Davis
Joe Royer
Amauri Washington
Will Lee III
Kaytron Allen
Gennings Dunker
Chris Brazell II

I still have to watch him.

 

[mayoclinic]

Yeah, I've watched some, but not enough. Going out on a bit of a limb here, but his disruptive factor is high.

 

[mayoclinic]

Very happy with my binkies so far. If I'd have to order them:

1. Arvell Reese. Top 5 value.
2a. Yonzhae Pierre. 1st round value.
2b. Monroe Freeling. 1st round value.
4. Jelani McDonald. Top 40 value at position of need.
5a. Niki Prongos. 2nd round value.
5b. Austin Siereveld. 2nd round value.
5c. Kade Pieper. 2nd round value.
8. Chris Bell. Top 40 value, position not of immediate need.
9a. Jake Golday. 2nd round value.
9b. Zakee Wheatley. 2nd round value.
11. Keionte Scott. Top 75 value, position of opportunity more than need.
12. Mateen Ibirogba. Top 75 value at position of low need.

There are others I like but this is the official list for now, although I'm probably missing someone obvious.

 

[mayoclinic]

Well there was that Bailey guy, ages ago.

I agree it's partly a visceral thing. Who's film gets me excited? Who do I think is flying under the radar? Who do I think is on a trajectory to break through?

Ultimately, Who am I going to go against the grain for and claim as my own?

I include Arvell Reese only because I was jumping up and down for him well before he was a Consensus 1st round pick.

The only real rule about binkies is they need to make you say "I want him." After all, they pick you.

 

[Clonamery]

Well there was that Bailey guy, ages ago.

Once he was Top 20, it was over.

 

[Dec54]

My binkies on the Consensus Big Board:

[7. Arvell Reese]
33. Chris Bell
87. Zakee Wheatley
93. Mateen Ibirogba
106. Austin Sievereld
128. Jake Golday
134. Kade Pieper
147. Jelani McDonald
213. Keionte Scott
324. Monroe Freeling
NR. Niki Prongos

Will be interesting to see where they end up.

I'd be over the moon if the Pats ended up with:

1. Chris Bell, WR
2. Zakee Wheatley/Jelani McDonald, S
3. Austin Siereveld, OL
4a. Jake Golday, LB
4b. Kade Pieper, IOL
5a. Keionte Scott, DB
5b (trade up). Monroe Freeling / Niki Prongos, OT

It would never happen.

Chris Bell at the moment would be my 1st round pick. I think he is made for McDaniels offence. Long way to go I know, but this pick would be a great one for Maye

Sadly, this.

Same with Lemon.

I doubt Bell will last till we pick, and I'm hoping for OL or EDGE. But it takes a lot for a WR to make my binky list. Love his game, agree he is made for this offense.

One big red flag for WRs according to WR guru Matt Harmon is when they only line up on one side as a WR. It makes sense, you're only running routes in one direction, cutting off one foot etc. This year, Chris Bell lined up on the left side only 22 times and 499 times on the right. Potential red flag right? Thankfully for his fans, no. Last year was almost completely the reverse with 582 snaps on the left side and 108 on the right.

OK Manx you can put that red flag down now.

Is it too early to start a 2028 binky thread? Asking for a friend

 

[mayoclinic]

Never too early. Your friend's secret is safe with us.

The distinction? The first group is the punch the air group, the second is the "ooh nice" group.

Good group. Waiting for final entry list before updating mine.
